Teens in the Bible - Lot's Daughters

Chapter 27 Lot’s daughters

Usually incest happens when a male assaults a female
relative, but the story of Lot’s daughters shows us the perverted thinking of
two sisters who essentially raped their drunken father on consecutive nights.
What were they thinking?

Lot and his family lived in Sodom – you know the story –
Sodom and Gomorrah received a horrible judgment from God when, because of their
grievous sins, He rained down burning sulfur on the two cities from out of the
heavens.

Wicked, wicked people inhabited Sodom and Gomorrah, hell
bent on practicing sexual perversions: rape, sodomy (hence the name), orgies –
they even were eager to get their hands on the angels, to defile them, too. Lot’s
teen daughters were undoubtedly influenced by their surroundings. You can’t
live in an evil society and not be affected. Lot and his wife had not protected
or sheltered their daughters well enough, had they? Lot himself was reluctant
to leave and the angels had to grab his hand and lead him out. His wife also
was hesitant. She looked back after she was warned not to and she was turned
into a pillar of salt (I picture the ashy human shadows left on stone walls
after nuclear bombs fell on Hiroshima).

These teen girls got pregnant by their father and each had a
son. One became the father of the Moabites and the other the father of the Ammonites.
In Deuteronomy we read that “no Ammonite or Moabite or any of his descendants
may enter the assembly of the Lord, even down to the tenth generation.” But
that’s another story.

My Home - Big Pine Lodge

I love all styles of houses, but my dream was to design and build a full log home. This is it and living here is like being on vacation all year.
Our most common visitors are deer, raccoons, and lots of chipmunks. Once in a while we see a fox, turkey, coyote or porcupine and have even seen a wolf print. The bears have stayed away, so far.
Uninvited guests include mice, bats, flying squirrels (one sat on the back of the loveseat and watched a little TV with us) and a porcupine (almost).
